A, E. FOSTER LIPSTICK CASE Filed Feb. 17. 1932 2 Sheetsv-Sheet 2 Inventor lffe'f ZZ? .5 1277 Patented Sept. 27, 1932 PATENT OFFICE ALFRED E. FOSTER, F WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA LIPSTICK CASE Application filed February 17, 1932. Serial No. 593,658.

The present invention relates to a lipstick case and has for its prime object to provide a combination of a case, a mirror and a casing for holding` the mirror and lipstick case in a manner to venable the user to store the same compactly and to use the same conveniently.

A still further very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a structure of this nature which is simple, inexpensive to manufacture, thoroughly eiiicient and reliable and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

IVith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of a case embodying lthe features of my invention.

Figure 2 is an end view thereof.

Figure 3 is a plan view of a mirror and lipstick container.

Figure 4 is an edge view thereof.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of one end of the lipstick container.

Figure 6 is a detail section taken substantially on the line 6 6 of Figure 3, and

Figure 7 is a section taken substantially on the line 7-7 of Figure 4.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that numeral 5 (Figures 1 and 2) denotes a case having one end open, and having one guide formed with a longitudinally extending channel forming portion 6. Letter F denotes a frame comprising a plate 7 and flanges 8 to hold a mirror 9 thereon. Numeral l0 denotes an L-shaped wire fixed to two adjacent flanges so as to extend about one corner of the frame as clearly indicated in Figure 3. Numeral 11 denotes a lipstick container in the form of a tube to receive lipstick 12. The lipstick, of course slightly protrudes through one open end of the tube while the from the full line position shown in Figure 3 to the dotted line position shown therein or may be swung over upon the mirror and then the mirror and the holder or container may be slid into the case 5, the lipstick container 11 being disposed in the channeled portion 6. A handle or tab 16 is formed on the frame so that the mirror may be easily pulled from the casing.

From the above detailed description, it will be seen that the lipstick may be conveniently used by a person looking in the mirror and that the mirror and lipstick holder may be compactly disposed in the casing when not in use as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

The present embodiment of the invention hasbeen described inconsiderabledetail merely fo-r the purposes of exempliiication since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages- 5.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. In combination, a frame, a mirror mounted on the frame, a wire mounted o-n the frame, a lipstick container having a loop about the wire to be slidable thereon.

2. In combination, a casing having one end open and one side formed with a channelled longitudinally extending portion, a mirror, a lipstick container, means for loosely and slidably mounting the container on the mirror so that the container may be placed on the mirror and the mirror slid in the casing with the container in the channelled portion.

-In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.

ALFRED E. FOSTER.

other end of the tube is closed and has a loop -I 14 mounted thereon disposed about the wire so that the lipstick may be freely moved about a major portion of the frame such as
